Dump and Bake Mexican Chicken

Celebrate Taco Tuesday with this delicious Dump and Bake Mexican Chicken. Serve it with Cilantro Lime Quinoa and all your favorite taco toppings for the perfect dinner.

I’ve got another dump and bake recipe that’s easy, delicious and perfect for Taco Tuesday.  This Dump and Bake Mexican Chicken only requires 6 ingredients and is ready in a little over 30 minutes. The timing will depend on how fast you can open two cans, a jar, and cut up your chicken.

Woohoo!  I don’t know about you but I don’t have time in the evening for meals that require a lot of ingredients so this is my kinda dinner.  Plus, everybody loved it.  We celebrate Taco Tuesday with all the neighbors and this was a huge hit.  I guess I better buy all the ingredients so I can make it again next week.

This Dump and Bake Chicken is great because you can eat it alone or you can make burritos and tacos with it.  I decided to serve it with Cilantro Lime Quinoa and make burrito bowls with it.  And, I like to eat my burrito bowls with chips.  Wait that’s not true – I just like to eat chips and salsa all day long.  I’m pretty sure I could live off chips and salsa and this chicken bake is a huge dish of chicken and salsa.

Hubby even suggested serving it over chips and making nachos with it.  However you decide to eat, I highly recommend adding it to your weekly meal plan because it’s amazing!
